Barbara Nord Obituary
Barbara Carol Nord
Barbara was an airline hostess when she met her future husband, Frederick Nord. They built their home and raised their two children in Forest Lake, MN. Barbara was a loving, playful, beautiful mother and homemaker.
In 1991, Barb and Fred relocated to Washington State.
Barbara was a licensed masseuse, scuba diver, yoga practitioner, master gardener and she rode a motor cycle her entire adult life. We are filled with grief at her passing.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Frederick Nord, of Mukilteo, WA; mother, Ginny Huff, of Milwaukie, Oregon; uncle, Paul Huff, of Renton Washington; daughter, Kathryn Nord MacKinnon (Starr MacKinnon); son, Dallas Nord; grandson, Zayden MacKinnon; sisters, Kate Staples, of Portland, OR; and Sherry Tomlinson, of Anchorage, AK; as well as friends in both the Seattle, WA area and Forest Lake, MN.
She was preceded in death by her father, James Huff.
A small gathering was held on January 29, at the Nord's Home.
